Chapter 273
As for similar props, Feng Lan and Si Zhaohua did have them. After hearing what Aibao's pig said, they also took out their own props to test them out of caution.
During the waiting period, everyone was busy and started to discuss the situation according to what A Baozhu said. The verification was just for the sake of being more cautious, but in fact, they all believed in A Baozhu's judgment.
It would be interesting if their physical condition was really deteriorating every moment they were in the Holy Land of Weixi.
The fact that the physical fitness decreases by 1 point every hour will not have any major impact on the psychics. Even if they do not live on the island for a long time, as long as they soak in the hot spring water or go to the "Gravity Beach" for exercise, this value can be quickly restored.
But the problem is that this would not happen in a normal place. How could the air cause a person's physical condition to decline? If they were older, it might be their own problem, but considering their youthful and energetic age, there must be something wrong inside the Weixi Holy Land!
Although Visilier has been controlling the number of people entering the island, considering how precious this place is, the annual number of visitors is still a very scary number. One person's physical condition 24 hours a day is nothing, but what if there are a thousand or ten thousand people?
A little bit adds up to a lot...
"If Baozhu's watch is fine, then do you think this situation has always existed, or has it only happened recently?" Si Zhaohua fiddled with the blood testing device on the table in front of him.
This is the tool he took out, which can judge one's own condition through blood. So just test the blood first, and then test it again after an hour, and you can know if there are any changes in the meantime.
The two questions asked by Si Zhaohua represent two different situations. If it is the first one, that is, this phenomenon has always existed, then the change in physical condition may just be a natural phenomenon of Weixi Island.
After all, many good things were born in the Holy Land of Weixi after the meteorite incident, so it is reasonable that some bad things were born accordingly. If that were the case, it would be understandable that they did not say anything. After all, if they did say it, it would more or less affect the reputation of the Holy Land of Weixi.
The negative impact is not that big, the minimal physical consumption can be completely offset by various items, and generally no one will find anything unusual.
But if it is another possibility, that is, this situation of constantly weakening physical fitness due to staying in the holy land of Weixi has only happened recently, then Si Zhaohua will have to link it with the conspiracy of the radicals.
Although it is unclear what the specific purpose of doing this is, in the final analysis, this is still detrimental to humans. And among the possibilities of radicals that they had previously speculated, one of them was detrimental to humanity.
They are extracting the physique of the psychics and cooperating with nightmare beasts. God knows what their ultimate goal is.
Everyone thought for a moment, and finally the wooden iron man shook his head first: "There is no way to verify this."
The amount of physical strength that would be reduced by staying in the Weixi Holy Land is too small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to notice. If it weren't for this accident, Ai Baozhu would definitely not have discovered the problem. If no one discovered it, of course there is no way to ask about the origin. Moreover, even if someone really discovered it, how would they start looking for this person?
"No, we have a way to verify it." Jiang Tianming raised his eyes, his dark eyes flashing with wisdom, "The tourists may not know, but the indigenous people of Weixi Holy Land must know."
From the information they had obtained before, it seemed that both the radicals and conservatives knew more or less about the bad things done by the radicals. In this case, they only needed to ask one of them. If they wanted to be safe, they could ask a high-ranking radical.
The real difficulty lies in how to ask questions so that they can answer truthfully and how to ask questions without alerting others.
"I can force them to speak." Lan Subing solved the first problem quickly. The power of the [Word Spirit] ability was unquestionable. As long as they captured the person, and if the other party's mental strength was not much higher than hers, she would definitely be able to make the other party answer.
Now there is only the second question left. Jiang Tianming looked at Lan Subing and asked, "Can your ability make people lose their memory?"
Lan Subing pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment: "It should be possible, but I haven't tried it. If I want to try it, the other party's mental strength must be lower than mine."
This kind of thing cannot fail, otherwise they will end up in a very embarrassing situation. However, when the opponent's mental strength is lower than hers, [Word Spirit] can usually be used successfully. So if you want to be more secure, this is the best way.
But how could they know what the other party's mental strength was like? Everyone looked at each other and thought that maybe they should think of other ways.
"Ling You, do you have a virus that can be used to threaten others?" Suddenly Wu Mingdao seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Ling You.
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately understood what he meant. It was obvious that Wu Ming wanted Ling You to spread the virus to the person they were questioning, so that the other party would not reveal this to anyone else if he wanted to survive.
After thinking for a moment, Ling You nodded affirmatively: "Yes."
Knowing that what she said was not clear enough, she paused and added: "I can use a deadly [plague] that breaks out later."
In order to get the antidote, the other party will definitely not betray them.
"But what if he pretends to obey but secretly seeks help from the people in Weixi Holy Land?" Jiang Tianming questioned calmly, "There must be a powerful healing psychic in Weixi Holy Land. The power of [Plague] should be suppressed by the healing psychic."
This is indeed the case. In the final analysis, the plague is a virus with strong lethality and infectiousness. If the treatment ability is strong, this common virus can be easily cured before the disease spreads.
This is indeed a big problem. A Baozhu is a little impatient: "Why not just go all the way and lock him up directly? Anyway, we can leave in a week at most."
Regardless of whether they have found out the truth or not, once the time comes to leave the island, they can no longer stay in Weixi Holy Land. When the time comes, they will be free to do whatever they want, and Weixi Holy Land cannot reach anywhere else.
This plan had obvious loopholes, and she just mentioned it casually. But Si Zhaohua felt that this plan was feasible. After thinking for a long time, he successfully helped her fill in the loophole: "But the sudden disappearance of the indigenous people on the island will definitely arouse suspicion, so we have to find someone whose disappearance will not arouse suspicion."
"You mean..." Jiang Tianming looked at him and almost immediately understood what he meant, "Find someone who is ready to leave the island"
Seeing him being so reasonable, Si Zhaohua nodded in approval: "The Weixi Holy Land should be a strict entry and loose exit type. We can wait around the teleportation array and wait for a single aboriginal to teleport and capture him immediately."
"Leave this task to me." Su Bei took the initiative to ask for the task.
Facing the suspicious looks of others, he winked playfully and said, "Since I have already contributed my part, don't look for me if you have any more problems."
Su Bei just listened for a long time and felt that this should be the easiest job, at least for him who had the invisibility charm. Instead of doing nothing now and waiting to be morally blackmailed by these resentful classmates to help him later, it would be better to choose a simple job now, so that he can justifiably refuse to help and even accuse them of being greedy.
After Jiang Tianming and the others understood what he meant, they looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement to Su Bei's request. It was unknown whether there would be a chance to ask Su Bei for help in the future, but the help he could provide now was real.
An hour passed in a flash, and Si Zhaohua once again dripped a drop of blood into the prop. After the body value was generated, everyone looked and saw that it was indeed a little less than before. Although the amount was very small and almost negligible, it was still less, so it showed that staying in the Weixi Holy Land did have this problem.
"I just said that what I said was right." Ai Baozhu showed a smug smile on her face, although no one knew what she was proud of.
Jiang Tianming nodded slightly: "Since that's right, let's do it according to what we just discussed. Su Bei, when will you take action?"
"Let's take a break for an hour. There was a chaos just now and no one will go to teleport in a short time." Su Bei said lazily. Obviously everyone knew that he just wanted to take a break, but what he said was reasonable and no one could refute it.
After discussing these things, Mutieren suddenly thought of a question: "By the way, you have already asked the 'All-Knowing Conch' today, right? Did you get the answer on how to detoxify Zhou Renjie?"
"Got it. We sent the results to Teacher Meng on the way back. Renjie shouldn't worry." Si Zhaohua said in a good mood, and then couldn't help complaining, "After we paid the money, those people told us that the 'Omniscient Conch' will not answer all questions. If you don't hear the answer within ten seconds after asking the question, the money will be wasted. Not only the money is wasted, but also your life. As long as you ask, you have to pay the price with your life, no matter whether the other party answers or not."
"That's too much of a rip-off!" Everyone was stunned. If they just wanted money, it would be fine, but why did they want my life even though I didn't answer the question? Wu Mingbai looked at Feng Lan, "Do you know about this?"
Feng Lan nodded and shook her head: "I only know that the 'Omniscient Conch' is not truly omniscient. It is probably because it is the Nightmare Beast. It will not answer many topics related to the Nightmare Beast. But I don't know the specific situation. The Weixi Holy Land has kept it confidential."
Throwing his hands helplessly, Si Zhaohua reminded: "Yes, they have a confidentiality agreement. We fought hard to tell you the truth. But none of us can spread it out, otherwise they will sense it immediately."
Wu Mingbai smiled sarcastically: "The Weixi Holy Land is really smart! If someone doesn't get the answer, then they will have earned 100 million for nothing. It turns out that money is so easy to make!"
As for the fact that the "Omniscient Conch" would kill people even if it didn't answer questions, he didn't comment too much. After all, it was a nightmare beast, so could you really expect it to do charity? It was within expectations.
Although Si Zhaohua was also very unhappy about this, he could still accept it: "In fact, when I knew that I could get the answer to a question by spending 100 million, I should have realized that there was a trap here. I took it for granted, but fortunately the result was not wrong."
Apparently, Ai Baozhu agreed with this statement: "Yes, it's only 100 million. Even if it's 100 million, the props are too little."
A group of poor people in the room: "..."
If one hundred million is considered a small amount, then how much is it? The world of rich people is indeed out of their reach, even if they become special people with special abilities who can make money.
After a short rest, Su Bei finally started to move. He planned to go to the library to read after finishing this matter, and then when there was chaos outside, he would immediately run to the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" to hide and practice.
To be honest, Su Bei was not a book lover, but he had to admit that in the comic book world, the library was surprisingly safe. He rarely encountered any incidents in the library, and even when he was kidnapped by a murderer at the beginning, it happened after he left the library.
Regarding this strange rule, Su Bei concluded that the comics of young people set up the library as a safe spot in order to urge young people to study. He didn't know whether readers outside the comics were urged to study, but he was definitely urged to study.
When we came to the teleportation array on the outlying island, there was also a church, but it was a small church, and there was no so-called guard. There were no treasures that could be taken away from the Holy Land of Weixi, so only the entrance was strictly guarded, and the guards at the exit were much more relaxed.
Su Bei used his mental power to do a simple probe and confirmed that there were no supernatural props inside. Then he slapped an invisibility talisman on himself and walked in with swagger.
Although the Weixi Holy Land is intentionally controlling the number of people entering the island, there are always many tourists on the island because of the shortage of supply. At this time, the indigenous people need to go out more to "see the world" and make room for tourists.
Tourists and aborigines are easy to distinguish. Generally, tourists go out in groups or with people protecting them. They are also very restrained in their movements, showing obvious lack of experience.
The indigenous people are different. They often walk out alone, are familiar with the route, and can even chat and laugh with the guards around them.
Because there were several people queuing up to get out, Su Bei was not in a hurry to catch anyone. Instead, he sat aside and watched patiently.
After confirming the process of their transmission, he walked forward. At the last second before an aboriginal was about to complete the transmission, he chopped him off with a knife and pasted an invisibility charm on him.
After a series of operations, the aboriginal princess was successfully taken away under everyone's noses.
Yes, it was a princess hug. In order to prevent the author from drawing his invisibility into the comic, Su Bei deliberately adopted this more respectable way of hugging. Although the other party was just an unlucky passerby, he could not be careless.
Although the most convenient way in his mind is to simply carry the other person like carrying a bag of rice, Su Bei is sure that readers will prefer a princess hug, at least that's the case for his character.
When they took the people back to the hotel, Jiang Tianming had not left and was still waiting here. It was obvious that they had great confidence in Su Bei and believed that he would be able to complete the task smoothly and would not delay for too long.
And indeed it was so. It only took him 20 minutes from leaving for northern Jiangsu to returning.
"Has anyone discovered it?" Although Jiang Tianming was confident in him, he still asked.
Su Bei nodded, sat on the sofa beside him, and pointed at the unconscious man: "He should wake up in a few minutes. Let's tie him up first."
The physical fitness of people with special abilities is generally very good, and the attack he just used could only make the opponent unconscious for ten minutes at most.
Jiang Tianming's [Immortal Binding Rope] came in handy and he easily tied up the opponent, and then everyone waited for him to wake up.
As soon as the man woke up, Lan Subing used [Word Spirit] directly: "Answer truthfully, are you a radical or a conservative?"
"Radicals." The man who had just woken up was still a little confused. Under the influence of the Word Spirit, he subconsciously only answered this question.
"How do you know he is a radical?" Si Zhaohua whispered to Su Bei. He was originally thinking about what to do if Su Bei brought back a conservative. But it was true. After all, it was Su Bei. He would definitely not make such a mistake. But he was really curious about how the other party could tell. He couldn't just ask directly.
Hearing this, Su Bei raised his lips and said, "It doesn't matter who it is."
Whether they are radicals or conservatives, or even neutrals who are unaware of what is going on, they should all know what is going on between the two sides. Otherwise, how can we say that they are in cahoots with each other?
Si Zhaohua naturally couldn't understand what he meant. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, like the conservative Lin Qi we met yesterday, he knew very well what the radicals were doing. Maybe there are many conservatives who know it too."
After answering the first question, the man who finally woke up screamed in fear: "Who are you and why did you bring me here? Do you know who I am? If you take me away, you will definitely be found!"
Lan Subing ignored him and asked the second question directly: "What is the radical conspiracy?"
As soon as he said this, the man's expression suddenly became distorted with fear. He obviously didn't want to answer this question, and his whole body was shaking. But [Word Spirit], as a top-level supernatural power, would certainly not let him escape easily. The man's mouth did not give his brain a chance to stop him, and answered the question regardless of the master's life or death: "We are 'creating gods'."
"Bang!"
The next second, the man's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon, and scarlet and milky white juice burst out instantly, blasting all over the people around him. Many people in the room couldn't help but scream.
"Grr!" Ai Baozhu didn't even bother to be frightened, she turned around and vomited directly. She rarely cared about her image, she ran to the bathroom with her hands and feet, and closed the door tightly. Soon, the sound of running water came from inside.
Si Zhaohua also had an expression that looked like he was about to vomit. Although he was standing far away and not much was splashed on him, his obsession with cleanliness still made him unbearable: "Ugh... I'll go back and take a shower..."
"No." Before he could finish his words, Jiang Tianming refused calmly, "There should be surveillance cameras in the hotel corridor. If you go out now, we will be discovered."
"Let's wipe it off first." The expressions of the others were also very unhappy. The wooden iron man wiped the blood off his face with a tissue, and at the same time, he considerately handed the tissues to others.
"It's over. I haven't even asked what the reason for the decline in physical fitness is." Lan Subing said in frustration, "I should have asked this first."
She never expected that the other party would explode, which made all the questions she had prepared useless.
It is worth mentioning that among all the people present, Lan Subing and the other two were the calmest. They had seen this kind of situation several times before and after the start of school, and now they can handle it with ease.
On the contrary, the others who should have been more "worldly-wise" were all frightened. After all, they were just students and had never seen such a bloody scene.
Su Bei was actually also frightened. No matter how many times he saw it in comics, it was not as shocking as seeing it once in reality. Fortunately, he always did a good job of keeping a straight face and never showed his emotions. Although his heart was shocked for a moment, his face showed no expression and he looked very calm.
As everyone lowered their heads to wipe the blood off their bodies and faces, Su Bei slowly fiddled with tissues: "It seems that we can't get the news from the aborigines. You don't expect me to bring another person back, do you?"
Because he felt that he had no mission and did not intend to interrogate the man, Su Bei was far enough away, and Si Zhaohua was there to block him. As a result, when the man's head exploded, no blood splashed on him.
Su Bei must say that this is just good luck, but others obviously don't think so. Feng Lan looked at him with a rare resentment: "You have predicted this scene"
As soon as he said this, everyone else's eyes also turned to look at him, with Si Zhaohua's eyes being the most intense. Feeling the real resentful gaze, Su Bei quickly explained: "Don't frame me, who would predict this for no reason?"
"Then why don't you have any blood on your body?" This time it was Wu Mingbai who asked the question.
Of course it's because of luck, Su Bei sighed in his heart, knowing that they would definitely not believe this explanation. Although he knew that they would definitely not believe it, he still had to say it: "Of course it's because I'm lucky, you non-Africans, don't get close to me."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but once he did, it gave Wu Mingbai a heads-up. His originally gloomy face suddenly brightened up, and he said with a smile: "We are all good friends, we should always share the good and the bad. You think I'm right, don't you?"
Jiang Tianming was the first to understand what he meant. He raised his lips and showed a sly smile: "You're right, Su Bei, you're so clean, it's a bit unsociable, isn't it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood what they meant, including Su Bei. His face suddenly changed and he stepped back repeatedly: "What are you going to do?"
Apparently, his question was a stupid one. The expressions on everyone's faces were different, some were smirking, some were expressionless, but the same thing was the pace at which they approached.
Just when Su Bei had reached the corner with no place to retreat and was about to take action, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
You have to know that the hotel's sound insulation is quite good, allowing them to hear footsteps in the room, which shows how noisy it is outside.
Seeing everyone stop, Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief and scanned the area with his mental power. Then his expression changed again: "It seems to be coming towards us."
